El registro ha sido recientemente aceptado por el Comité de Rarezas de Trinidad & Tobago. Se discute este registro a la luz de otras apariciones en USA, Barbados y aquellos de otras aves del Paleártico Occidental en Trinidad & Tobago. On the morning of 13 February 1983, while lead­ ing a combined Sunbird/Wings birdwatching tour to Trinidad and Tobago, I found a Spotted Redshank Tringa erythropus at the Bon Accord lagoons in south-west Tobago. It was associating with a small group of Willets Catoptrophorus semipalmatus, Greater Yellowlegs Tringa melanoleuca and Lesser Yellowlegs T. flavipes. Features which immediately made the bird stand out from the other waders present were its Figure 1.

  • Wisconsin's John Muir
    Wisconsin’s John Muir An Exhibit Celebrating the Centennial of the National Park Service “Oh, that glorious Wisconsin wilderness! “Everything new and pure in the very prime of the spring when Nature’s pulses were beating highest and mysteriously keeping time with our own!” “Wilderness is a necessity... Mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.” This exhibit was made possible through generous support from the estate of John Peters and the Follett Charitable Trust Muir in Wisconsin “When we first saw Fountain Lake Meadow, on a sultry evening, sprinkled with millions of lightning- bugs throbbing with light, the effect was so strange and beautiful that it seemed far too marvelous to be real.” John Muir (1838–1914) was one of America’s most important environmental thinkers and activists. He came to Wisconsin as a boy, grew up near Portage, and attended the University of Wisconsin. After decades of wandering in the mountains of California, he led the movement for national parks and helped create the Sierra Club. But for much of his life, Muir’s call to protect wild places fell on deaf ears. Muir studied science in Madison but quit in 1863 without a degree, “...leaving one University for another, the Wisconsin University for the University of the Wilderness.” Muir’s letter to the classmate who taught him botany at UW The Movement for National Parks Yosemite Valley “Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where Nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike.” In 1872, Congress named Yellowstone the first national park.

  • Seriously Sage-Grouse
    United States Department of Agriculture Natural Seriously Resources Conservation Service Farm Service Sage-Grouse Agency April 2011 Helping People Help the Land Seriously Sage-Grouse How Science Heard About Sage-Grouse Meriwether Lewis first observed sage-grouse at the mouth of the Marias River on June 6, 1805. The bird was new to science then and plentiful throughout the western part of what is now the United States. Journals from the Lewis and Clark expedition record sage-grouse encounters from the mouth of the Marias River, up the Missouri River to Camp Fortunate, along the trail to Lemhi Pass, along the Salmon River, down the Clearwater River, then to the confluence of the Walla Walla River with the Columbia. Since its first recorded sighting more than 200 years ago, the sage-grouse has experienced a large decline in population. Find the way through this maze and you will see the route Lewis and Clark took from the mouth of the Marias River in Montana to the Pacific Coast in Oregon. Hint: sage-grouse are pictured on the map at the places where the explorers recorded sightings. MONTANA Mar ias R . WASHINGTON M i s s o u ri R e . Cl arw a R. te ia W r olumb R.

  • Common Ravens, Corvus Corax, Preferentially Associate with Grey Wolves, Canis Lupus, As a Foraging Strategy in Winter
    ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR, 2002, 64, 283–290 doi:10.1006/anbe.2002.3047, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on Common ravens, Corvus corax, preferentially associate with grey wolves, Canis lupus, as a foraging strategy in winter DANIEL STAHLER*†, BERND HEINRICH* & DOUGLAS SMITH† *Department of Biology, University of Vermont †Yellowstone Center for Resources, Yellowstone National Park (Received 28 February 2001; initial acceptance 16 May 2001; final acceptance 22 January 2002; MS. number: A9007R) One foraging strategy that scavengers can employ to discover unpredictable food sources is to associate directly with predators who inadvertently provide food. The common raven, a well known feeding generalist, is also a prominent scavenger of wolves’ kills and is found to be in close association with this predator. We tested the hypothesis that ravens preferentially associate with wolves in winter as a kleptoparasitic foraging strategy. The presence, absence and behaviour of ravens was documented during winter observations of wolves, coyotes, Canis latrans, and elk, Cervus elaphus, as well as the landscape in the absence of these three species. Ravens were found to be in close association with wolves when they were travelling, resting and hunting prey. In comparison, ravens showed no significant association with coyotes, elk or areas on the landscape in the absence of wolves. We also compared ravens’ discovery success of wolf-killed and nonwolf-killed carcasses and their behavioural response upon discovery. Ravens found all wolf kills almost immediately and remained at the carcass to feed alongside wolves after the death of the prey. In contrast, ravens were less successful discovering experimentally placed carcasses in the same study region, and did not land or feed despite the availability of fresh, exposed meat.

Horicon Marsh is predominantly cattail marsh, managed primarily for waterfowl. However, due to the wide variety of habitat and that Horicon Marsh is over 32000 acres in size, it attracts an abundant diversity of bird species throughout the year. It should be noted that some migrants might be present for only two weeks or so. Birdwatching is encouraged.

Because this is a first Missis­ sippi record, all details are herewith submitted. The Ruff was found at approximately 08:00 from a distance of about 200 m, during a routine scanning of shorebirds. It was almost immediately apparent that the subject was not a Lesser Yellowlegs (Tringa flavipes). although it bore a close resemblance to that species. There were, however, various differences in plumage, pos­ ture, behavior, feeding habits .•. enough so that it stood out in the crowd of both Lesser and Greater (Tringa melanoleuca) yellowlegs with which it associated.
